4.00A little bit choatic at the beginning as customers weren’t sure where to go to get their tickets purchased online. Once on board a very pleasant and enjoyable cruise. Great hot chocolate!

5.00We had a fantastic experience on our recent Loch Ness boat tour with Jacobite Tours. Boarding was quick and well-organized, and the boat itself was clean, comfortable, and clearly well maintained. Onboard, we enjoyed a selection of beverages and snacks, which added a nice touch to the journey. The crew were attentive and professional throughout, and the tour narrator truly elevated the experience. Charming, witty, and impressively knowledgeable, they brought the history and mystery of Loch Ness and its surroundings to life in a way that was both entertaining and informative. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the tour and would highly recommend Jacobite Tours to anyone visiting the area. It’s a memorable way to experience one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes.

5.00Kieran was very entertaining and informative host giving good information and stories throughout the trip. The cruise provided great views of the lake and the castle. The best spot to sit is at the front of the boat on the lower level, although it will be a little breezy, it has the best view.
